ABSTRACT:
A breathing demand regulator for use in aircrew life support apparatus has an aneroid capsule 56 coacting with a valve head 50 to restrict outflow from a breathing pressure control chamber 32. The aneroid capsule expands to move the valve head in the event of aircraft cabin altitude rising above a predetermined level due to loss of cabin pressure. An end face 53 of a valve stem 51 supporting the valve head senses inflation pressure of an aircrew G-suit by way of a passageway 59 for movement of the valve head in the presence of G-load. This arrangement provides for increased control pressure and, hence, increased breathing gas pressure in a regulator outlet 13, in meeting the higher of requirements for positive pressure breathing to protect an aircrew member exposed to both G-load and high aircraft ambient altitude (say above 12000 meters). The regulator is disclosed in combination with an anti-G valve arrangement 90, 100 and a G-suit inflation control valve arrangement 60, 61 and 120, 121 that provides the higher of G-suit inflation pressure requirement for protecting the aircrew member when exposed to high aircraft ambient altitude in the presence of G-load.
